Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for facility management, an operator tool for facility management, and a method of managing the system.
- Facility management is normally meant to ensure functionality of a built environment by integrating people, place, process and technology.
- Facilities like a modern building or larger vessel, normally comprises one or more advanced systems for management of different features, e.g. heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system, access system, lighting system, burglar alarm system, fire alarm system, or other systems for implementing a function in a facility.
- HVAC heating, ventilating and air conditioning
- a modern HVAC system normally comprises a plurality of sensors, actuators, controllers, valves, power sources, etc.
- An access system comprises controlled door locks, card readers, one or more control devices with access databases for different areas, etc.
- Burglar and fire alarm systems comprises a plurality of sensors, control devices and user interfaces. These parts are connected to each other in a complex configuration.
- a portable EMAC identification unit is used for receiving signals from multiple transmission beacons to determine the location of the portable EMAC identification unit through triangulation. This can be performed by a processing means in the EMAC identification unit, or by processing means in the beacons, if the EMAC identification unit echoes the beacon signals back to the beacons.
- the EMAC identification unit can then identify EMAC point locations by plugging into a power plug, or placing the EMAC identification unit adjacent to a power consuming switch or a device with a dedicated wiring, and indicating the located device by an input on a keypad or keyboard.
- Each EMAC may have an integral serial number that can be used as part of the identification process. The position of the EMAC point can then be determined in two or three dimensions.
- the devices of the HVAC system may not always be easily physically accessible. For example, they might be placed behind a lacunaria, i.e. in the plenum. Another problem is that a plurality of devices may be placed close to each other, that it may be difficult to distinguish which device has which function, or the type of device. Further, in a fairly complex system, which is the case, a plurality of different devices must be managed.
- RFID radio frequency identification
- the read/write device will be used by a person to assign network addresses to each network device.
- the person will use information concerning the location of an HVAC network device to determine the network address that is to be assigned to the network device.
- the identified network address along with the tag identification is transmitted to a network controller for the communication network.
- the network controller will then transmit a configuration message over the communication bus, that will include the tag identification and the desired network address.
- the HVAC network device having the matching tag identification will respond to the configuration message from the network controller to allow the desired network address to be downloaded to the particular HVAC network device.
- Still a problem is that the operator of the facility, when working in the field with an operator tool, have to consult floorplan and wiring schemes, handbooks, data sheets, etc. to be able to perform her task. Further, a problem is that the network devices have to be power supplied and connected to the system, which have to be up and running, to be able to manage the system according to the prior art. This is especially crucial when installing a new system or when troubleshooting a system that is down.
- WO2004032019 discloses a system for a facility wherein tags are being configured to transmit a tag ID that is uniquely associated in a database with data describing the asset.
- a plurality of first transceivers receive tag IDs and transmit the tag IDs and a transceiver ID to a server, which is configured to update the database with location information for the asset to indicate that the asset is adjacent the transceiver.
- a plurality of portable client devices are configured to wirelessly transmit to the server a client device ID that is uniquely associated in the database with a user of the client device.

- the operator tool accesses a database item from a system device database in step 706 to get information on the system device.
- the operator tool maps the received identity to the corresponding downloaded database item in a mapping step 708 and then updates the system layout database item with the received identity of the system device, and preferably information on the system device, in an updating step 710.
- the operator tool can communicate the updated system layout database item to the system layout database via a communication interface, either immediately or at a later occasion.
- updated, complete, and correct information about the system is maintained in the system layout database after installing, checking, updating, or otherwise managing the system by an operator.
- Fig. 8 is a flow chart illustrating a method according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- the steps 800-814 are depicted in sequence. However, the steps are to be performed in any order, repeatedly, and/or in parallel, as is common in some data processing systems. The only constraint is that information to be processed is available at the time of processing.
- the processing technique is commonly referred to as realtime processing.
- a system device database step 800 information on one or more system devices are acquired from a system device database.
- a signal sending step 802 a signal is sent from an operator tool to a tag of a system device.
- an echo is received from the tag.
- the echo signal comprises an identity of the tag.
- a checking step 806 the identity is checked towards an identity of a database item, either from the system layout database or the system device database, to make sure that the correct system device is observed.
- a system layout database accessing step 808 a system layout database is accessed to acquire e.g. location information on the system device.
- a identity mapping step 810 the identity of the system device is mapped to the system layout database. This can be the case when a new system device is mounted, or an old one is replaced with a new one.
- data presenting step 812 data about the actual system device is presented to a user through a user interface of the operator tool.
- a system layout database updating step 814 an item of the system layout database corresponding to the actual system device or location is updated. The update can comprise the identity of, location of, and/or information on the system device.
- the data can comprise manufacturer's number on the device, e.g. serial no., batch no., etc., model name and/or number, hardware version, software version, application or configuration identity, and/or user interface aids, such as images, drawings, documents, manuals, data sheets, etc.
- a particular example of information that can be comprised in the system device database is neuron ID in a LonWorks technology network, a hardware ID for ethernet devices, or any ID information related to a communication system associated with the system device.
- the system device database can comprise information on testing of the device, such as test result data, test type, calibration information, etc.
- the operator tool is able to access the system device database, either directly, or via the system layout database, at least occasionally.
- the system device database can be accessed prior a facility management operation, where relevant parts of the system device database is downloaded to the operator tool, or it can be accessed via a telecom or datacom network during the facility management operation.
- the user of the operator tool can for example filter out a certain product type that is to be maintained, checked, or fixed in any way, and thus get relevant information on the product.
- the operator tool can access the system layout database to be able to find the system devices in the facility. Then, the user can locate the actual system device(s) and for example check if it/they hold the right software version.
- the user of the operator tool can for example filter out a system device located at a certain location, e.g. a room or appartment of a facility, that is to be maintained, checked, or fixed in any way, from the system layout database.
- the operator tool can access the system device database to be able to find relevant information on the system devices in the facility. Then, the user can locate the actual system device(s) and for example check if it/they hold the right configuration.
- Another example is that it has been found that a certain system device or batch of system devices are burdened with an error, e.g. in the software.
- the user can then easily locate the devices by using the operator tool and then check each device for example if the software has been updated, since all information is available, and being able to readily locate the devices, although they may be at places that are not that easy to access.
